It's the truth. When I was calorie counting every single thing I ate, it was amazing how calorie dense that nuts were. I mean, you can grab a handful of nuts and easily have 350 calories or more sitting right there just in your palm.

I will clarify my position. For me these days, TRT is the difference between weighing 178 without it and 184 with it. So there's about a six-pound difference, which is probably a mixture of muscle and water retention. So there are positive results for sure, but from a strict bodybuilding...

I'm going to use that one on my father-in-law today. He'll be cackling like a hyena! Thanks!

Actually he did say right from the start that he was on HRT himself.

I felt like I my diet was decent and my exercise program was pretty good but I just wasn't getting anywhere in terms of progress. So I went in to have my levels checked out of curiosity and discovered the following: My test levels were about average for someone my age. My IGF-1 level was on the...

This is spot on.

If that was the case, then every farmer doing daily manual labor and living off the land out in the middle of nowhere should be skinny. But we know that's not how it plays out.

My doctor initially put me on 500iu of HCG EOD to boost my Testosterone levels. The problem with using HCG solely for that purpose is although it got my Test levels up, it sent my estrogen level through the roof. Then he put me on Arimidex to combat the estrogen, but that stuff was like $140...

1200 is at the top of the range for a young adult male, and in the words of my doctor.... "The whole point of HRT is that we're trying to get your levels up to the top of the range that you were at when you were in your 20's."

Here in Florida, a doctor will always prescribe HCG along with Testosterone for the purpose of preventing testicular atrophy. I think that's a law here if I'm not mistaken.

My T levels are just shy of 1200. I don't recall my DHT levels being out of range but my estrogen was high so I take a natural supplement to keep that in check. I will pay attention to DHT level next time I get everything checked and report back.

Sure that's natural. For every gram of carb intake, your body wants 2.7g of water to go with that. So the higher your carb intake, the greater your thirst.

I'm currently doing 100g per day of low Glycemic Index carbs myself. Everybody is different, but that seems to be the sweet spot for me. If I go lower than that, my muscles feel really flat and I get no pump whatsoever in the gym.

The theory that a diet with many carbohydrates - and especially a diet with a lot of quickly absorbable carbohydrates - leads to overweight and obesity, is not new. A high carb diet allows fat cells to grow, but ensures that the rest of the body gets less energy. Says that theory. Nutritional...

I liked the overall message, but I wished he would have used the word body instead of organism.

Yeah, I've been doing about 150mg - 200mg per week for the past year via every other day injections. You don't have to do them that frequently though. I just prefer to do it that way because the injections are smaller and it keeps your blood levels more stable that way. I am 47 years old, just FYI.

Phil Heath won the Mr. Olympia 7 times in a row and rarely ever used a free weight, so he would probably disagree with you. Anyway, there are several reasons for my exercise choices: I work out from home so I don't have much room at all for big equipment like barbells, squat racks, etc. I use...

Wow. They are so screwed. Thanks for providing that.
